So, this is it, after two semesters of blogging it looks like this is the last time I will be required to update this blog. So here goes...the post that I am most proud of from this quarter is...
"The (Insert Issue Here) Cycle"!
This is favorite post from this quarter for a few reasons. First of all, I took a theme that we have been discussing in class (gender discrimination), and I took that further and looked for a link to that topic today, rather than to the 1800s, the setting of the Kentucky Cycle. I found research that had recently been conducted at Cambridge, which talked about that exact subject. I not only learned a lot from the overview of the study, but it also led me to ask for an opinion from my readers. I only got one comment, but it was still very insightful!
Overall, I was pretty happy with my blogging this quarter. I was often at a loss for interesting things to blog about, but I always tried my best to keep my posts interesting. But every time I struggled to think of a topic for a post, it led to me think even more critically about our society, which is the greatest thing that blogging has taught me. This combined with the class has helped make this year so great. I have learned a lot, and I know that I will use the skills that I learned in American Studies throughout the rest of life, so thank you both, Mr. Bolos and Mr. O'Connor, very much for teaching me how to enter into a conversation and think in a way I had never even imagined about society.
